Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior LED cluster gauge install

Ive taken apart the cluster and already soldered white LEDs on it. I see that the factory faceplate has the numbers orange. Im not sure whether the white will shine through, but im guessing it wont. Is there a way to get rid of the orange without needing to buy the RJ auto works gauge? I remember i saw someone here that did it and made it clear, but i forgot who and how they did it

oh yea the needles are kinda hard to come out. Am i supposed to just pull them out? i dont want to break them

A long time ago I heard of someone scraping the color off of the gauges but I wouldnt suggest doing that. I dont think it turned out too great.

You are suppose to use a spoon. There should be a install guide somewhere that talks about it.

k thanks man...i need all the help i can get because i need to put this thing back in soon so i can drive

yup he is right. now you will prob jsut have a brighter orange

https://celicahobby.com/ubbthrea...;o=&fpart=1 . Buy some indiglos or those gauges. The indiglos I know are only like 30.

dang...looks like i will need to get the new gauge soon...what kind should i get so the white can shine through. I heard that the black numbering will let any color shine through?

alright! thank man just what i needed. i was using one spoon and it looked like it was gonna break soon lol

buy the indiglos from rj autoworks.

They are gauge faces not indiglos so you have to do the entire led conversion but all the same.
